I just have two complaints, one trivial, and of of some substance.
First, the trivial one. I don’t like the “broken streak” animation. It lasts maybe two seconds before the bulb bursts and I can X out of it, but it’s salt in the wound when I’m already well aware that I’ve lost a match. Often times I will just quit out of the app when I’m losing an Arena match badly, figuring it’s not worth the effort to even finish it. When I next open the app and bring up the Arena, it still shows the animation. Little animations like that are cute the first time, but irritating as all get-out when you get teased by them over and over again. Which brings me to…
Second, the more substantial complaint. Last week’s Arena ended today, and I didn’t log in again until several hours after the end time (which was 5 PM Pacific time, presumably midnight UTC), and when I did, I saw the “broken streak” animation from my last aborted attempt, but I didn’t get the “Arena ended” screen that gives out gem rewards for placement in last week’s Arena. It seems like it can’t show both this and “broken streak” at the same time, so either it skipped the reward altogether (I was in 7th or 8th, so should have gotten 15 gems or so, but even if others had risen above me in the time since I last played, I should have at least seen the “Sad Red” showing me I didn’t earn anything), or else it gave it to me but didn’t show me any confirmation.
My suggestions: Make sure rewards from a finished week of Arena matches are always the first thing shown when the player is loading Arena for the first time after a competition ends. Show “broken streak” when a player finished a match and loses it if you really must, but if they choose to skip seeing that by aborting the match, don’t show it to them again on reload. The player understands that they have to start over. Just show their progress starting from the beginning after the next match they win.
